    I appreciate the lack of gatekeeping when it comes to AEG ownership. As someone just coming into the GBBR sphere it sometimes feels a little elitist and so i appreciate you and the many members of the community who are very much not like that.

      If it's the AEG version that is currently available, it's only about 10lbs. Nearly all of my gas guns are either 5 to 10lbs each, so this is normal.

      The PKM is actually one of the lightest GPMGs to see active service. This airsoft replica in the video is only 15.8lbs without the box mag.

    On the topic of the "cheap" GBBR, I would now suggest people to bridge the gap slowly.
    Most of the players already have a Glock (and I hope a VFC one), so I would suggest a SCW-9 PRO-G from Maruyama, and it bridges three of the question asked :
    - Glock Magazines compatibility : You have magazine for you pistol (which you just have and will play even if GBBR does not suit you), and the same stockpile can now work with a more "full fledged long replica"). Also the VFC glock mags are arguably the best glock magazines (I did not test the recent Gen 5 TM one though)
    - Cheap, entry level, very high quality GBBR : The SCW-9 is more or less the price of a mid level AEG, or any entry level WE replicas in term of pricing but has most of its internals steel OR reinforced with steels screws where it matters.
    - A replica that you can learn how it works, as the trigger group is one of an AR-15, and there is very few reasons for anything internally to break.
    And once people get a nack for this small, cheap platform, they can think investing into a larger one (AR, AK, FNC, whatever).

    @peterbaan9671 6 месяцев назад +6

    Where I live (Eastern Europe), I don't think there is any point buying a WE M4. Since you basically need to change out the fire control parts after a year or so and that point, you payed for a TM MWS, which is infinitely better in every way. And you don't need to change out anything beside a single spring. Sure, you can go fancy and change out a bunch of things, but you dont _need_ to.

  • @treesleavedents
    @treesleavedents 6 месяцев назад +7

    I think the Maruyama would be an amazing replica for you to do a video on as it's a great balance of good design and budget pricing.
    IMO it's the best GBBR out of the box for less than $300

  • @michagromek6342
    @michagromek6342 6 месяцев назад +1

    Speaking of cheap gbbr, currently Army Armament has released the g36c with steel trigger mechanism components, it is a copy of the WE system, only sort of with a complete ra-tech trigger mechanism... after replacing the bucking with the ML2021 MrHop, buying a few magazines (with the replica we get 2 pcs) and the replica is ready for play, preferably with 0.40g bbs, but 0.36g will also work. The magazines are dirt cheap compared to other GBBRs, and this is probably the cheapest GBBR replica currently available on the market and at the same time worth your attention.

    I recently got a DE Noveske N4. And so far its treating me well. But they are fairly new in the market, and I don't really know what its going to do to me over time. I have a VFC Scar-H aswell, and its causing me a bunch of headaches, it shoots. But it feels like its eating itself alive... Time will tell, I don't really know what upgrades to get for the two. But the Noveske seems efficient, but lacks recoil, the Scar-h almost has too much recoil. Its loud to the point where it triggers my tinitus haha!

      DE N4 was my 1st GBBR and it served me well. All it needs are the usual hop up and inner barrel upgrades AS WELL AS a new charging handle, preferably Angry Gun Ambis since the stock charging handle is made of soft and brittle metal. Too bad i sold it for the APFG Spear LT and the upcoming VFC FNC and i don't see any economical reason running 2 types of mags.

    @JunPT266 6 месяцев назад +1

    I can vouch for the Lambda GHM9. Great little and inexpensive GBB, super fun to use, with some upgrades on the hopup and inner barrel it performs pretty decent for such compact gun.
    It's not the best gun for the cold weather, I haven't had problems with It's cycle but it tends to vent a lot of gas from the muzzle (which makes a "fireball" when paired with a flamer tracer) but still empties a full 50rds AAP mag.
    The only thing that bothers me a bit is the trigger weight, specially cause I am a TM guy. The GHM9 trigger is heavy, it's crisp but heavy and hard to spam fast when needed.
    Great videos and great content as always 💪

    @yolomasta6940 6 месяцев назад

    I have a Lambda GHM9, can't speak for everyone's experiences with it but from my own personal experience with it, I love it a lot and it's a pretty fun budget GBB option especially if you already own a VFC Glock and have a bunch of VFC Glock mags. It's super lightweight, it feels durable, my biggest issue is the bolt is a bit sticky but there's mods for that on RUclips that are very simple to follow. Id recommend it. No idea about performance in the cold tho as I live in Florida.

  • @facundocorradini

    16:34-17:01 I'm in this clip and I am ashamed. I got a WE AK back when it was either them or a Gen2 GHK, and two WE HK416s back when my friends had the idea of starting a GBBR fireteam with mag interchangeability. (Two of them had WEs already.) Now I want to upgrade to VFC but if I end up getting back half of what I put into them, I'll be surprised.
    Also from what I've heard, the GHM9 has weak recoil springs.

    Imo there are at least three other guns that could've been added to the cheap and good category.
    KWA mp9: everybody and their mother owns one. Sends BBS flying downrange 50m stock. All metal 48 rounds mags are sturdy af. Nozzle return spring breaks in the first mag but hey, it just go even without it, sear eventually needs replacement, and that's it..
    WE Scar(maybe not so cheap?): great ootb. Goona have to deal with incosistent bolt catch eventually, that's it..
    KWJ M4: this is the biggest airsoft mystery to me. This gat just go, sturdy parts, solid recoil, great shot consistency, sturdier controls...I've always thought of this gun as a sleeping gem.

    life is too short to buy budget GBBRs... I've had enough of WEs already, the MP5s were not so bad to be fair, but the ARs are just waiting to wear parts down and misfeed ad infinitum, the G36C neve had so many issues besides just wearing down trigger mechs on me.
    If I had to start over/keep just one gun, I'd probably 'go big or go home' and go for the RATech EMG Noveske N4 GBBR, easily the best single piece in my collection, and it's 1100USD just for the gun in Taiwan, but, it is buttery smooth, has a phenomenal trigger and shoots accurately out to 70m with ease, and runs off GHK PMAGs.

    As a question from me for maybe some day: any plans to show off more custom builds, like was done with the SPAS-12?
    I think custom build videos are interesting because XE's format and explanation of the build process gave me some decent insight on what can be done with mixed replica parts. I am actually attempting to build my own M1014 using a Maruzen M1100 and DE M56DL (for the body), although I'm having trouble figuring out how to fit things perfectly as the barrel doesn't seem to quite match up to the length of the magazine tube. I do wish there was more open information out there about this system and/or this kind of build but know it was mentioned that you (or XE in general) were "burnt out on Maruzens" so just seeing videos on other custom builds in general would be pretty cool.

    What about pistol conversion kits as a budget way to get into GBBR? I can think of Action Army AAP-01 for example, with the AA folding stock and front grip it will cost you about 160 USD (here in Czech Republic), you can also add longer barrels, better hop units etc... Sure, it is still not "real" GBBR, but the feel, range and accuracy could be pretty close. What do you think about it?
